The deadline to apply for the Warm Home Discount scheme is approaching.
The £150 support is a one off discount on your electricity bill between October and March. Eligibility varies by firm, but it generally applies to people on means-tested benefits including Jobseeker’s Allowance, Universal Credit and Income Support.
The support was paid automatically to eligible pensioners on the lowest incomes, but they have to be in receipt of certain benefits, including pension credit. However, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has claimed 850,000 people could claim the extra cash to help with their heating bills - as Chronicle Live reports.
